Donald Trump is Skynet

Observed by Cathy O'Neil:

We have the equivalent of a dynamic neural network running our
government. It’s ethics free and fed by biased alt-right ideology. And,
like most opaque AI, it’s largely unaccountable and creates feedback
loops and horrendous externalities. The only way to intervene would be
to disrupt the training data itself, which seems unlikely, or hope that
his strategy is simply ineffective. If neither of those works, someone
will have to build a time machine.
